The Holy Quran English Translation by Rashad Khalifa, PhD

Dr. Rashad Khalifa was a native Arab so he might have an advantageous position to translate the Quran as compared to non-Arab Quran translators. Also he always used very simple language which makes easy to read and understand the Quran. However, translation of the Quran is not the exact Quran so translation cannot be error free nor free from language or understanding shortcomings.

So if any dispute raised, one should go to the original Arabic Quran. We are not saying Rashad’s Quran translation is the best one but due to the simplicity of his language, we believe it would be easy to get a good start for anybody to understand the Quran.

You may always consider to read and compare other good Quran translations. We believe that the claim of the “authentic Quran translation” of Rashad Khalifa’s is not fair; that is an exaggerated claim. For an advanced Quran follower, one particular Quran translation is definitely not enough. God bless.
